What I currently use:
Sparcserver-1000 (Solaris)
2 x SM51 (50 Mhz Supersparc w/1 meg cache each)
256 meg ram
2 x 10BT, 1 x 100BT ethernet
FC-AL & Storage array with 16 x 2 gig drives
scsi-2, scsi-3, etc...
Sparcstation-5 (OpenBSD)
170 Mhz CPU, 128 meg ram
RS/6000 (AIX) (Don't use this much.)
332 Mhz PowerPC
SGI Indigo 2 (IRIX)
150 Mhz R4400
NCD 19r X terminal (1280x1024 mono)
vt320
I normally sit in front of the mono NCD
display. I desperately need more system
boards for the SS1000 - it can take
up to 8 CPUs...
Also - network switches by 3com & Synoptics.

I don't really like Solaris (I actually
have a "BSD OR DEATH" t-shirt...) but
it's the only thing that'll run on
the Sun4d's (SS1000, SC2000) at the
moment. (Linux might, a little bit,
with an old kernel, maybe... but I
don't like linux at all.) Waiting for
netbsd to get ported over... the SS1000
is such amazingly nice hardware though.

Unless I *have* to look at something
graphical, I do all my web browsing in
lynx. It's insanely fast, and I don't
have to look at all that horrible
"design" that fills the web these
days....
On the rare occasion that I need to
fire up a graphical browser, I use
Opera running on my Sun, displaying
on my SGI. Runs very nicely.

Agreed 100 percent. Lynx is for the serious net surfer who prefers to retrieve information fast and efficiently. Nothing compares to its pure speed. Thus, it is the ideal browser for forums, message boards, and e-mail. Unfortunately, many people hear "text browser" and think it must be inferior, when we know it's quite the contrary. Who wants to waste time downloading useless ad banners and annoying style sheets with tiny fonts anyway? :-)

I believe you are confusing Lynx, a web browser, with Linux, an operating system. These two pieces of software are unrelated.

The official homepage of Lynx is lynx.browser.org . Since you're running Windows, you can easily download Lynx from a link off of TinyApps.org.

There is no installation. Just unzip it somewhere, say C:\lynx or wherever. The readme shows how to set up the paths. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
